is there a moldies part three?

[Tortington]

just wondering, as i can't find it.

Is "you must be a mouldie" the insult du jour?

i hope it will be short-lived

are you mouldy troy?

Troy a lot of your posts are just being overlooked.

I imagine that happens to you quite a lot.

Nah, Troy's just getting a bit short-changed.

'the sn board set up a private invitation only board a few years ago. What is the difference? or is it abnormal to want to discuss your NT children in privacy? '

I would hope that the only criteria is to be known on the SN boards? AFAIK theere's no popularity contest or anything going on. very much the opposite in my experience.

ignore the feeble attempts at self justification peachy..... rise above it.

lts & wilfs

LOL- that assumes I am arsed about it in the first place (OK I was but now we're in about the fifty seventh place and I Am Decidedly Not)

Fio is a mate, as I have realised many of th Moldies are mates. I don't want to know why I was never invited any more. It can't be a positive outcome.

MN seems a friendly place to be atm, lots of nice friendly newbies and I have learned something I ike about myself: I don't look at names when posting.

If peolpe want to leave over it, maybe they should, it's a chat board after all- not a life support system. If not, good. Come back in, let's give up fighting and if those who don't like each other could just avoid each other in the playground for a bit then well done.

fio- as 2shoes has repeatedly stated on these threads, the SN group was set up in an entirely different manner and has never refused anyone entry. She has asked that it is not drawn into this debate on previous threads.

fuck me cheers fio, talk about stabbing someone in the back
for your information..
in the 2 1/2 years TTR has been goinbg no one has ever not be allowed to join anhd only one person banned(week one for breaking the only rule.....that what is said there is private) but you seem to know better.

The SN group is open to people who post on the SN board afaik, though have only joined recently. I don't think it's cliquey at all, as I have disagreed with 2 shoes and others on the main board about stuff and yet wasn't blacklisted from the group, which I think is a measure of non-cliquiness!

I think SN parents having a private place is, for me, a good thing - parents of kids with SN are often involved in lengthy battles with LEAs, Social Services etc. and I know of people on other SN websites whose details have been 'got' and then their posts used against them.

x posted, sorry

We all disagree with 2shoes- I have a bloody degree in it. First class, with honours

oh yes we had a lovely row the other week.

I didn't mean it as a mardy thing - tis a good thing to be allowed to say what you want, and very different from a clique who aren't allowed to disagree with the herd. The SN clique erm but the entry criteria is kinda obvious and not at all subjective - you have to have an SN child - so how is it even relevant to this topic which is about arbitrary and random selection of some posters being deemed worthier than others?

And the key thing of course is that if anyone, moldie non moldie newbie old or PITA develops the need for TTR we will be waiting with an invite.

We're a resource, not a club.

I'm the PITA but used to it. Everyone in the LEA hates me so I'm developing a thick skin.

Nah, I'm the PITA. evryoe in the LEA hates me twice over .

Sally - can't believe you have been deleted from people's Facebook over this! Seems a tad OTT.

(Why are you 'badassmarthafocker'??)

I keep seeing new members saying things like 'wow, I can't believe how passionate this all is'

and it strikes me that actually that's because they are probably too new to understand the real passion that exists on these boards.

people are very much involved
it's a good thing, but it does cost a lot emotionally when someone is hurt.

I guess you'd call it investment. To an outsider it must seem a little freakish.

thankyou rev
